'BENCH-STOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 531,102, dated December18, 1894.

Application filed my 23 18 94..

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSIAH DAILY, of North Peoria, in the county ofPeoria and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Bench-Stops, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvedbench stop or as I may more accuratelydescribe it, it is a combined bench stop, square and marker, and theinvention consists in the novel constructions, combinations andarrangements of parts as will be hereinafter described and pointed outin the claim.

In the drawings-Figures l and 2 are perspective views of my dog inposition on a bench and Fig. 3 is a side view of the invention as in usThe bench A of which a portion only is shown may be of any suitableconstruction, and is provided preferably along both edges near its topwith sockets a for the stud b of the stop B. This stop B is formed witha side arm or shank O and a cross or head bar D arranged at a rightangle to the shank O and is preferably arranged with its under sidebelow the'upper edge of that portion of the shank immediately next tothe cross. or head bar D so the shank C will form a side guide orabutment for the board or other timber applied to the stop and also formone arm of the square in using the device as a square or marker.

The side (1 of the head bar is slightly undercut so its upper edge at (1will afiord a comparatively sharp edge to bind in the end of the timberstopped against while the lower edge d ing 0E boards. While a pencil,scriber, or

scratch-awl may be used tomark off the square cross out such markers arenot always at hand and to avoid the difficulty resulting from theirbeing mislaid I construct the stop so it may make the cross cut mark.This is eifected by the lower edge d which is made comparatively sharpand when struck upon the board Serial 11.. 518.341. (No model.)

leaves a clear distinct mark. This mark may be made by striking thecross head down upon the board orby placing said head upon the board andstriking it a sharp blow with a hammer or mallet. This cross head' itwill be seen is made sufficiently long to make a line entirely across anarrow board or sufficiently far across a wider board to produce asubstantial mark of suitable length to form a mark to serve as a guidein cutting across said board. When the cross head is lifted and theboard slipped thereunder the shank 0 forms one arm and the cross baranother arm of the square. It is preferred to provide the cross headwith graduations so it may serve as a rule or measure.

The stud b may be removed from one of the sockets a and inserted in anyother one on either side of the bench to bring the stop to the desiredpoint.

Bymy improvement it will be seen I provide a bench stop, and atry-square in one as well as measure and a marker.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The combination substantially as herein de- H scribed of the benchhaving a series of sockets the stop composed of a shank having at oneend a stud fitted to said sockets and easily detachable whereby it maybe changed from place to place the cross piece or head extended at rightangles from the said shank and havforth.
